Liu Lin was delighted when she heard Li Miaomiao's words.
"Cold cucumber salad. I haven't been able to eat much these days. I've been waiting for this." Liu Lin looked at Li Miaomiao with sparkling eyes.
Li Miaomiao took out the cold cucumber salad and placed it on the table. There wasn’t too much, just a porcelain bowl. It was made just before the trip, so it was just the right time to eat it.
"If you like it, Fourth Sister-in-law, I'll tell you how to make cucumber salad later. I'll also give you a bottle of pre-mixed sauce. Just add a little whenever you make cucumber salad. It's more convenient this way."
"That's great, sister-in-law, thank you! To be honest, this is all I can eat these days. At least I can have something to eat after finishing it."
"It's so serious, have you been to the hospital?"
"I went there, and the doctor said it was a pregnancy reaction, and there was no better way."
When Mrs. Pei heard this, her discomfort was temporarily suppressed, and her face was full of concern for Liu Lin.
Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Liu's mother looked helpless when she heard Liu Lin's words: "The doctor said that Linlin's pregnancy reaction is too severe and she needs to be taken good care of. I have to leave my family affairs behind to take care of her. After all, Linlin's health is more important."
Li Miaomiao heard that Liu's mother was also a smart person. She probably saw that Mrs. Pei was uncomfortable and gave a disguised explanation.
It also shows that she came here this time because Liu Lin had no one to take care of her, so she had to take time out to come.
As the mother-in-law, Mrs. Pei should not feel uncomfortable about this. Instead, she should be grateful. After all, it is impossible for Mrs. Pei to leave her family affairs and come here.
"No wonder the fourth son's wife looks so unhappy. This reaction is a bit too strong. There's nothing we can do about it. We women just have to suffer."
Mrs. Pei said this and took out the things she brought from home.
"Mom also heard from Guoqiang that your pregnancy is not going well, so I prepared some things for you and brought them here to help you recover."
This time, Old Mrs. Pei was really willing to give up. She had killed one of the hens in the house last time, and the new one had not grown up yet, so she killed the other chicken left in the house to nourish her daughter-in-law.
These days, it's very rare to kill a chicken just to help your daughter-in-law get pregnant.
Mrs. Liu had some complaints at first, but when she saw the things brought by Old Lady Pei, she felt better.
Although her daughter married a country man, fortunately her son-in-law treated her well and her in-laws were quite understanding. Liu's mother was an experienced person and knew that the most important thing was to live a comfortable and happy life, rather than just looking at things that mattered to her face.
"Mom, why did you bring so many things? Guoqiang and I haven't been filial to you yet."
When the family property was divided, all the assets were taken out, and Liu Lin realized that the things her mother-in-law brought with her were really a lot.
"You're being ridiculous. Although your father and I are old, we're not too old. We can still work and take care of ourselves. But you and Guoqiang are in the city. Although it seems like you have the best life, it's not that easy in the city. You just need to take care of yourselves. You don't need to worry about us old couple. When we are really too old to walk, you can lend a hand."
What Old Mrs. Pei said was very wise.
When Mrs. Liu heard what Old Lady Pei said, she couldn't find any reason. When Linlin got married, she was worried that Pei Guoqiang's country relatives would come to visit from time to time. Fortunately, the Pei family was not such a family. It was only Pei Guoqiang's eldest brother and his family who always had a look of contempt on their faces.
As for providing for one's parents-in-law in their old age, this is also a matter of course.
"Fourth sister-in-law, please don't be so polite to Mom. Mom and Dad are so happy to know you're pregnant. People are in high spirits when they are happy. Dad seems to be in much better spirits too."
"By the way, Fourth Sister-in-law, I know you're pregnant, and it's hard to buy things in the city because you need a ticket for everything, so I brought you some things."
Li Miaomiao put down the backpack and said
"These vegetables and fruits are so fresh and tender."
As soon as Liu's mother saw what was in Li Miaomiao's backpack, she exclaimed in admiration, saying that such juicy vegetables and fruits could not be bought outside.
With so little stuff, even if you have money to buy it, you still have to fight for it. Most of the time, when it's her turn to pick, the items are all leftover and wilted. Not only are the good things bought by the people in front of her, but they are not even brought out and are eaten up by the salesperson.
"I planted these vegetables and fruits late, and these are the first harvest. They are fresh and tender. Eat them while they are fresh. See if your appetite improves. If you like them, I will bring them back later."
Li Miaomiao first took out tomatoes and strawberries. Fortunately, she suddenly remembered that she had no fruit to eat, so she bought a few seedlings from the system mall and planted them. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to eat fruits.
"Second sister-in-law, your vegetables are really well grown."
Li Miaomiao thought to herself that she had put a lot of effort into growing these crops, and had spent a lot of survival points on buying fertilizers from the system mall, so of course they grew well.
"Fourth brother's wife is a lucky eater. When I went into the mountains a few days ago, I caught some wild rabbits and pheasants. It's so hot now that they won't keep well. Luckily, they were alive, so I can keep them until now. When Fourth brother comes back, I'll have him kill them and make soup for you."
Even Mrs. Liu was surprised. It would have been fine if it was just Mrs. Pei, but Li Miaomiao actually brought so many things.
She used to say that her daughter was too silly, always thinking about subsidizing her sister-in-law in the countryside. Now it seems that she was too narrow-minded, and her daughter realized that this sister-in-law was worth making friends with.
When Pei Guoqiang came back, he was moved to see his mother and second sister-in-law bringing so many things to see his wife.
Especially Li Miaomiao, Pei Guoqiang did not expect that she could do this.
"Second sister-in-law, please take care of yourself and the children, don't work so hard."
Li Miaomiao, a woman, does hard labor that no man can do. Pei Guoqiang feels heavy in his heart when he takes these things, and he also remembers this love in his heart.
After lunch, Mrs. Pei and Li Miaomiao said goodbye and went back.
"Mom, it's so rare for you and my second sister-in-law to come to my place. Why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay here today? Guoqiang will take you back tomorrow."
"No need. I'm relieved that my mother-in-law is taking care of you. I won't cause any more trouble for you. I'll come to see you later. If there's anything you want to eat, just let me know."
Old Mrs. Pei looked at the small house. There were only two rooms in total, and her mother-in-law was living here, so there was no room for servants to live here. She didn't like to cause trouble for her children.
Pei Guoqiang knew what was going on, so he didn't try to keep them and sent them to the door.
"Mom, I'm an unfilial son."
When they reached the door, Pei Guoqiang suddenly said
"What nonsense are you talking about? Living a good life with Linlin is the best way to show filial piety to your father and me. If you feel uncomfortable, please take care of Miaomiao and Xiaofan if something happens to us two old people in the future."
Li Miaomiao was very touched when she heard this. Her mother-in-law never forgot to plan for her and her son.
